Information-processing differences in repressors and sensitizers.

This article examines 32 important clinical and personality hypotheses of rational-emotive therapy (RET) and other modes of cognitive-behavior therapy and lists a large number of research studies that provide empirical confirmation of these hypotheses. It concludes that (1) a vast amount of research data exists, most of which tends to confirm the major clinical and personality hypotheses of RET; (2) this data keeps increasing by leaps and bounds; (3) RET hypotheses nicely lend themselves to experimental investigation and therefore encourage a considerable amount of research; (4) researchers have not yet tested some of the major RET formulations and could do so with profit to the field of psychotherapy and personality theory.

Generally speaking, there are two extremes of scientific personality types: sharpeners and levelers. Sharpeners, highly attuned to system differences and nuances, and always alert to distinctions, try hard to let nothing slip by them unnoticed. Levelers, on the other hand, attempt to submerge system differences, reveal uniform patterns, and condense disparate elements. This paper is one leveler's attempt to address the following philosophical questions confronting pharmacokinetic modelers: (1) What is the nature of reality? (2) What is a model? (3) Why do we model? (4) What are the different types of models? (5) How do we model? (6) What are the properties and characteristics of models? (7) How do we evaluate models? (8) What are some of the tricks and traps of modeling? And (9), what are some of the psychological characteristics of modelers?

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
